Mike and Kenny review and spot faith presented in the Academy Award nominated and latest film by director Yorgos Lanthimos. Bugonia marks another colaboration between Lanthimos and two time Best Actress winner Emma Stone, whose second Oscar was for Lanthimos's film Poor Things. Stone stars as Michelle Fuller, a powerful CEO of a pharmaceutical company. Jesse Plemons, a 2021 Best Supporting Actor nominee co-stars as conspiracy theory obsessed beekeeper Teddy Gatz. Aiden Delbis also co-stars as Teddy's autistic cousin Don.  Likening her actions to Cology Collapse Disorder where healthy beehives suddenly collapse, Teddy believes Fuller is an Andromedan alien who is intent to destroy or force humanity into subserivence. Teddy convinces Don to assist him in kidnapping and holding Fuller hostage in an effort to be transported to the Andromedan spaceship.  Faith Spotted: As with bee hives, communities, whether faith or societal, can function, grow and live for an extended period and then quickly become dysfuntional collapse and die. Typically growth happens when the wellbeing of the collective is prioritized over the needs, fears, or desires of the individual. Fracturing happens when in response to the community facing challenge or change, and individuals or portions of the community begin to act in ways that offer them comfort and assurance based on memories of past glory and success.  Teddy resembles in the description of John the Baptist who comes in from the wilderness with a new message.  While John was preparing the way for the new message that was the Gospel of Christ, not every outsider with a new message is to be followed.  The patience of God not to do away with creation or humanity even though it is likely what is derserved. Although there is the flood account in Scripture, there have been other times when God has been tempted to do away with nations or communities, yet resisted the temptation. The continued rejection by humanity of God's grace, love and righteousness (desire) is a source of unimaginable pain to God. Because God's love is complete and perfect, the loss and pain God feels when we reject and retaliate are immeasureable. Yet God continues to love.  Dysfunctional communities such as cults etc. are based on and grow out of fear of real or perceived threats and challenges facing members. Such fear leads to a desire and need to seek to control or to follow those indviduals and groups who promise stability and control over that which is unknown or unstable, regardless of the cost. The promise of the Gospel is that life does not end in death, collapse and a tomb, but rather continues through the hope and assurance of ressurection to new life.

Triple Feature: Bugonia/Marty Supreme/Hamnet

This week's Triple Feature explores obsession, mythmaking, and the stories we tell ourselves to survive meaning. In Bugonia, Yorgos Lanthimos pushes paranoia and control to absurd extremes, turning conspiracy thinking into a darkly comic examination of power, belief, and the human need for order. Marty Supreme reframes the sports biopic as myth, using a fictionalized portrait to explore masculinity, performance, and the cost of obsession rather than historical accuracy. And Hamnet strips narrative down to grief itself, focusing not on Shakespeare's legacy, but on the quiet emotional devastation that precedes it. Together, these films interrogate how identity is constructed — through delusion, ambition, or loss — and ask whether meaning is something we uncover, invent, or cling to when reality refuses to cooperate.Disclaimer: The following may contain offensive language, adult humor, and/or content that some viewers may find offensive – The views and opinions expressed by any one speaker does not explicitly or necessarily reflect or represent those of Mark Radulich or W2M Network.Mark Radulich and his wacky podcast on all the things:https://linktr.ee/markkind76alsohttps://www.teepublic.com/user/radulich-in-broadcasting-networkFB Messenger: Mark Radulich LCSWTiktok: @markradulichtwitter: @MarkRadulichInstagram: markkind76RIBN Album Playlist: https://suno.com/playlist/91d704c9-d1ea-45a0-9ffe-5069497bad59

Hello, Hello, Hello!We're back after a month-long hiatus with our podcast episodes -- which will be coming regularly to you from now on, at least until the end of 2025's Awards Season.Rather than doing our annual "Best of" & "Oscar Season Movie Catch-Ups", we've decided to do a series of Year-end Round-ups of some of the most talked about films in 2025. These will cover many of the titles up for awards consideration -- and hopefully many more titles that perhaps didn't make the nominations list but were still relevant (either in public discourse, or, more significantly, personal favorites).We'll be releasing the Round-Up Eps for English Language Features first, since most of the titles we have discussed are now readily available for listeners to watch online.This first (of three) English-Language Features Round-Up is mainly focused on covering films either directed by women -- or, at least, on films entirely centered around them. This includes fairly in-depth discussions on Lynne Ramsay's "Die My Love," Mary Bronstein's "If I Had Legs, I'd Kick You," Nia DaCosta's "Hedda," Yorgos Lanthimos' "Bugonia," Mona Fastvold's "The Testament of Ann Lee," and (briefly) John M Chu's "Wicked (Not) For Good."The last film listed here also prompts our token Queer representative, Cris, to do a quickfire Queer Film Round-Up for 2025, which most extensively covers Ira Sachs's "Peter Hujar's Day."Listen to the full episode to hear more about our apprehension in talking about "women-oriented films," Cris and Ashwin's problems with John M. Chu's direction of the "Wicked" films, THAT "Bugonia" ending & much, much more!TIME CODESQID Ep.

Alternate Ending - Movie Review Podcast

This week sees the release of Avatar: Fire and Ash, the tenth narrative feature directed by James Cameron, and that seemed like an auspicious enough number to use it as an excuse to celebrate. Alternate Ending's resident Avatar maniac, Tim Brayton, is joined by a trio of fellow Cameron-heads: Zev Burrows, Andrew Milne, and Caleb Wimble. And the four of them dilly-dally for as much time as Ol' Jim himself might do in going over his directorial career, and some of his other interests, culminating in our picks for the best films of his slender but massively popular filmography. As a warm up, the team has an all-2020s movie roundtable this time: Caleb sees Oscar hopeful tearjerker Hamnet, Andrew raises and then crushes our hopes with the samurai drama Tornado, Zev puzzles around with Yorgos Lanthimos's newest weird fiction, Bugonia, and Tim deals with one of the decade's most confusing distribution platforms to see Kurosawa Kiyoshi's 45 minute filmlet Chime, by request of Patreon subscriber... Caleb Wimble. Well how about that.
